It serves both, as the main thoroughfare for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and a spur of the Foothills Parkway. ==Route description== The road is simply called "Parkway" in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, where most of the commercial land development has occurred in those two cities. Both have numbered each traffic light sequentially to make it easier for non-locals to find their hotels and other tourist attractions. Sevierville has its traffic lights numbered in miles and tenths, according to the mileage from the national park boundary. Between Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg, the parkway becomes part of the Foothills Parkway as its spur route. This segment, maintained by the National Park Service (NPS) is a four-lane divided highway, which runs along both banks of the northward-flowing Little Pigeon River. Where the river briefly diverts to the west and back east again, the southbound roadway on the west bank also curves around, while the northbound lanes go through a tunnel. The Gatlinburg visitor center is located just before entering the town from the north. The Gatlinburg Bypass, part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, connects with the parkway to provide a direct access to the National Park. In Sevierville, the Parkway has an east branch and a west branch, as well as a spur in both directions along US 411.〔 Between US 411 and SR 66, the road is known as "North Parkway." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Smoky Mountains Parkway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
